MY TOPIC TODAY :-KNOW YOUR RIGHTS@WORK. Where an employee resigns or employment ends before they have completed their first 12 months of service, they are entitled to a payment for annual holidays of 8% of gross earnings during the employment. This entitlement is reduced by any payment for annual holidays taken in advance during the employment or by any payment for annual holidays on a pay-as-you-go basis.Where an employee resigns or employment ends after becoming entitled to annual holidays, the first amount to be calculated is the greater of ordinary weekly pay or average weekly earnings for the annual holidays to which the employee is entitled under the Act, as if the holidays were being taken at the end of the employment.If the employee’s rate of ordinary weekly pay at the time is not clear, the calculation in the “Definitions” box earlier is used to establish the correct figure. The 12 months prior to leaving are used to establish average weekly earnings.The second amount to be calculated is annual holiday pay for the period since the employee last became entitled to holidays, which is calculated at 8% of gross earnings since the entitlement last arose.The payment for any annual holidays taken in advance is deducted from the final amount, as is any amount paid on a pay-as-you-go basis.
